Cheap Food for Hogs,

The four great foods for hogs are
corn, clover, milk and bran. With
these foods hogs can be raised econom,
ically and at good profit, even if
cholera does come occasionally. Corn
is the cheapest and best food for fat
tening, and it is the cheapest to form
the bulk of the winter ration for grow
ing stock. Men go too far, however,
when they use it alone as growing
ration. 1t needs the muscle and bone
forming material of some food as bran
or milk to supplement it. Glover is
the cheap and practicle food with
which to form the bulk of the ration
for choats and hogs during summer.
1t needs the addition of corn when
summer fattening is desired, and must
be supplemented by milk, bran and
corn for the best growth of sows with
young pigs. Milk is eminently the
young pigs food, but it is valuable in
feeding with any other ration. No
other food stimulates the growth of
pigs like sweet skim milk, and no other
food aids the hog more in producing
tat from ration consisting mainly of
corn. Bran is merely supplemental
food in most cases and serves to balance
the food ration when feeding corn or
other starchy food, whether feeding a
growing or mature fattening animal.

TO read the domestic annals of the
close OF the last and the early years OF the
century brings back the IIomeric tales
of the strength and prowess OF the heroes
who wnrrcd on the plains of Troy. No
man OF these degenerate days could do
the work our fathers did who "gloried
and drank deep" like those lusty jam
sehyds. They had, to be sure, some few
points in their favor that we lack. They
did not need-at least they did not use
those intermittent aids to the agreeable
ness of life that we seem to find so neces-
sary There were no brandies and sodas.
no sherries and bitters, no 8 o'clock teas;
they were content with one solid meal in
the day, and they did not put that off till
IL was growing time to begin to think
about bed
And / suspect, tho most important
point of all, they took life less hastily
not less seriously, but less hastily. Their
brains were not always at high pressure.
they did not frtter away their minds and
tempers on AM in1nity of pursuits-pur-
suits of business, and pursuits of pleas
ure. IL they did not all attain Words
worth's sweet calm" or the "wide and
luminous view Of Goethe, Mt least they
dld not insist on barring the way to
those blessed goals. This hasty life of
ours, these successive shocks of change
